lenge to the 49ers fans going to that dome. they want to make it as loud and as unpleasant as possible. they understand that the 49ers are the big dog. they understand that the 49ers are the favorite in this game. so they want every advantage they can get that that georgia dome tomorrow. regarding the 49ers, as we take a look at what it looked like at the team hotel this afternoon as jim harbaugh was signing autographs, somewhere in that sea of players, we did not see michael crabtree, along he was there, amid the serious sexual allegations. i asked a couple of fans if they thought that was going to be a distraction. >> he's out there to play. you gotta forget about your personal stuff on the field. he's out there to win. >> are you buying that? >> i think harbaugh will keep everybody focused. i think he'll keep everybody on the game plan. they'll be fine. they'll be fine. >> i'd like our focus and

concentration to be the highest it's been. i'd like guys to go out and play the best game that they've ever played here. that's the hope. that's the expectation. then we'll find out all of those things on sunday. >> reporter: all right. so we'll see how it all unfolds at game time tomorrow at noon, in san francisco, 3:00 here. michael crabtree is their biggest offensive weapon in the receiving core. so we'll see if it's weighing on his mind or not, but i seriously doubt it. back to you in the studio. >> vern glenn, thank you so much. as you heard harbaugh say, the emphasis for the 49ers is staying focused. after a few more walk-throughs today, the team is about as ready as they're going to get, for the showdown against the falcons tomorrow. both teams got to the play-offs last year only to end up being eliminated. in fact, this is the falcons' third postseason appearance.

the 49ers last year lost to the new york giants. for all things kaepernicking and for all things 49ers leading up to tomorrow's game and the super bowl, head to cbssf.com. well, a fatal shooting at the bayfair bart station in san leandro closed the station all afternoon while police investigated. elizabeth wenger is at the station. >> reporter: at this point, the bart station at bayfair is still closed. they're set to reopen it any minute. just a few minutes ago, we saw a train run through without stopping. this all happened around noon. since that time, the bart station was shut down. that is about five hours now. it happened at this bus zone just adjacent to the station. we talked about police. they say multiple shots rang out. and that's when one african- american male in his 40's was

killed. another female victim, non-life- threatening injuries. so she is supposed to be okay. police say they do have one suspect in custody. that person, again, in custody at this point. but they're not sure about others that may still be on the loose. there were also several witnesses to the crime. and surveillance video that was taken on a nearby transit bus that may give them some clues. at this point, we still don't have a motive. police say there was another shooting at the pittsburg bay point station just last month. this type of crime is still very rare. >> it is a rare occasion for the bart district. so this is atypical. but it's a safe and secure system. >> reporter: and, again, we just saw another train run by while this sound bite was rolling, so at this point, the bayfair bart station is still closed but they hope to have it open in the next 15 minutes or so. there were police officers also

on scene here on the ground when the crime happened, so the response time was pretty quick, and they did catch that one suspect in a residential neighborhood. live in san leandro, i'm elizabeth wenger, cbs 5. washington, d.c. is getting ready for monday's presidential inauguration. security preparations are underway. inauguration day is usually january 20, but since that day falls on a sunday, the official swearing in will be held in private tomorrow. the public event will take place on monday. and christin ayers is in washington, d.c. to cover all the inaugural events which begin today with a national day of service. >> reporter: president obama is continuing a tradition he started four years ago, a national day of service, a day of giving back on the national mall, and we track down a san francisco resident who came all the way out here to take part in it. president obama rolled up his

sleeves to help spruce up a washington, d.c. elementary school today. the president and first lady stained a bookshelf as part of their national day of service project. >> the very young people did some really good work. and some of the older folks, like me, who it hurt getting our knees -- kind of bending down a little bit, we were able to manage also. >> reporter: one of those young people, san francisco resident erika chain. she also pitched in today, painting a washington, d.c. elementary school a day after meeting mr. obama face to face. >> it's unreal. i walked out of the oval office and i had to have someone pinch me. i said, i felt it. it's real. it did happen. it's really just an honor. >> reporter: it was chain's way of saying thank you to the obama campaign. chane suffered a brain tumor in 2010 while she was out of the country and uninsured. >> i started applying to every insurance plan i could, because they had to perform brain

surgery to keep me alive. every plan you can think of, all of them denied me. >> reporter: in this video which she made for the obama campaign, she says the only reason she was able to get insurance for her preexisting condition was because of obamacare. >> i recovered 100% from a life- threatening brain tumor. >> reporter: chain said giving back was the least she could do as part of a day of service tradition president obama started four years ago to honor dr. martin luther king jr. >> i just wanted an opportunity to say thank you to everyone that worked so hard on the campaign. >> reporter: really a wonderful day out there on the national mall today. next we'll be heading to california's ball, talking to some of the top state legislators who will be there, about issues like gun control and the democratic super majority. >> there's talk that there's less excitement than there was four years ago, when the

president's inauguration was unprecedented. what is it like there? >> reporter: i think there is a lot of energy and enthusiasm out here, although i will say, from what we've seen today, we have not certainly seen the crowds that there were out and about four years ago. certainly the energy is there, but it seems like so far it will be a much smaller number of people in attendance this time around. >> all right. christin ayers in washington, d.c. tonight. thank you so much. and stay with cbs 5 for complete coverage of the inauguration with special reports tomorrow and monday from christin in washington. the hostage crisis in algeria in which at least one american was killed ended today in a final bloody assault. algerian special forces stormed the gas plant where islamic militants were holding foreign workers hostage, including americans. the clash left at least 23 hostages dead. dozens of foreign workers are still unaccounted for,

including four americans. the algerian government says all 32 militants were killed. well, surf's up but it's proving to be a bit danger. the re

riptides put four surfers into dangerous waters near the cliff house today. coast guard rescue crews were called to ocean beach after the surfers were reported missing. one witness told cbs 5 the surfers were struggling to get back to shore. >> it was looking pretty precarious. the waves were big. they kept tumbling them. but they eventually worked their way to the shore without any assistance. >> the effort to save the surfers comes after the national weather service issued a high surf advisory. but it's not enough to just stay out of the water this weekend. standing or walking along the shore can be just as hazardous. cbs 5 reporter anne makovec tells us sneaker waves also pose a very real danger. >> reporter: i >> reporter:

>> i love to watch the shells. >> reporter: she's already experienced a sneaker wave. >> it was a big swell. i was so busy looking at the waves and all of a sudden, the foam came up. >> reporter: sneakers appear out of no where and can wash more than 100 feet farther than regular breakers. this weekend, the conditions are right. >> a lot of the people are out here with their dogs, kids, and i can't even watch sometimes, because i know how these waves are. >> reporter: this family came to check them out for themselves. >> every wave breaks definitely. it's kind of like watching a fire. it's very cool and mesmerizing. >> it's enormous. i needed to get out. >> reporter: a man was walking with his wife and dog when a wave knocked the woman and dog over. the man went to help them, but

he was knocked down by another wave and swept out to sea. dogs who play in the water are easily carried far from shore. >> my dog is terrified of the ocean. >> reporter: the coast guard says if your dog is dragged into the ocean, don't try to rescue it. dogs are better swimmers and have a better chance of making it back than humans. in marin county, anne makovec, cbs 5. it almost felt like the dog days of summer. we had warmer weather here in the bay area. now, rain and its return. the pinpoint forecast, as
